Tuesday's Sound Off

When Pennsylvania State Rep. Tim Hennessey needed our vote, we were there for him. When the seniors needed his vote on property taxes, he turned his back on us. Thanks for nothing Mr. Hennessey for voting against House Bill 76. People are losing their houses.

I ask Democrats what kind of president denies World War II veterans from visiting their own memorial just so he can satisfy his own needs. Hooray for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.

WORLD WAR II NAVY VET

We notice that with the state this country is in now there’s more break-ins and robberies. It’s not even safe to go out. We’re becoming Afghanistan thanks to Obama. Politicians, save this country, don’t destroy it. What have all the people who gave their lives in previous wars given them up for, for this? Send Obama as the point man in Afghanistan.

I was at High and Franklin in Pottstown and I turned the corner to go to Rite Aid and there was a girl getting ready to cross the street about 15 feet from the corner and she saw me turning the corner and stopped; then as I got about 10 feet from her she walked right out in front of my car. This has happened to me so many times on High Street. What is wrong with these people? They should be fined. I don’t know if they want to get hit so they can sue us or what.

What the people are telling you that you are going to pay for Obamacare is not the truth. Obamacare doesn’t pay any more of your bill than Medicare does so you’re still going to need a supplementary insurance company. Therefore you’re going to have to have two policies — Obamacare and another one to cover what they don’t cover. So Obamacare is going to be expensive.

I’m calling about a cheap remedy for poison. I had poison on my arms and legs and my daughter told me to put on white vinegar. I did and I cannot believe the itching stopped entirely. It took a couple of days, the redness went away and it cleared up versus putting other stuff on and going to a doctor. Not everybody has money to go to the doctor so if this can help somebody that is great.

We, the good old USA, are going to save the whole wide world when we, that is Congress, can’t even get our own house in order. Shame.

THE SILENT MAJORITY

Today it’s the Affordable Care Act, tomorrow Social Security and next it’s ending Medicare as we know it. No Congress today or in the future should be held hostage by a small minority undermining the Democratic and legislative process.

Being an independent voter sometimes I must vote for the lesser of two evils. However, what’s going on in Washington is too much to bear. What are the Republicans doing? They cannot win this battle over Obamacare. They are letting the Tea Party control the rest of the party. Right now the Democrats are the lesser of two evils.

It seems I have to bring this up again about passing on a double yellow line on a highway. Just because some people don’t see a No Passing Sign that does not mean you can pass if you don’t see it. This law is still in effect as a no passing zone regardless of signs posted. It is a heavy fine if you are caught so think about passing on a solid double yellow line. The sign says no passing and remains if you don’t see it.

Only in Pottstown at Spruce and Diamond can you have a hole in the middle of an intersection that’s been there for over a month with a red cone in the hole and bordered around it. Let’s get it fixed. Way to go Pottstown.

SGT. ED

After reading the article in The Mercury about the tax reform bill now we know where our state representatives stand and the ones who voted against House Bill 76 amendment. I urge all the voters in the tri-county area when it comes time for re-election to vote against these state representatives. I also encourage you to find out what state senators are against this bill and vote against them when it’s time for re-election.

Professor Fair, I think we should get rid of Welfare and the Access card and free cash. Then maybe you will be able to get a job.

ONE WHO KNOWS

Beware of the Obamacare. You are signing your name to what? Nobody understands it. They have not published it. They should let people read it before they sign. The way Obama is running our country, he wants to destroy America.
